What is carpet

Carpet is a soft floor covering made from fibers like nylon, polyester, or natural wool. It’s installed over a pad that adds comfort and support. Beyond just looks, carpet changes the feel of a room—making it warmer, quieter, and more comfortable.

Carpet Types

Cut Pile (Most popular) – Fibers are cut and twisted for a soft, plush feel. Great for bedrooms and living rooms.‍

‍
Loop Pile – Loops stay intact, creating a textured and durable surface. Works well in high-traffic areas.

‍
‍Patterned – A mix of cut and loop fibers for a modern, stylish look that also hides dirt well.

‍
‍Frieze (Twist) – Long, twisted fibers with a casual, cozy appearance that resists footprints.

Kid & Pet Protection

Not all carpet is the same. Some options are designed with stain resistance, moisture barriers, and even odor control built in. These carpets hold up better to spills, accidents, and heavy use—making cleanup simpler and helping your floors stay fresh longer.

Padding That Matters

Carpet padding often gets overlooked, but it makes a big difference. Padding is what gives carpet its cushioned feel underfoot, and it also absorbs impact, so the fibers don’t wear down as fast. Every Penn Carpet installation includes a premium 8lb pad for comfort and durability.

Easy Maintenance

Carpet care is straightforward:

- Vacuum regularly to lift dirt and extend life.

- Blot spills right away with a clean cloth—don’t rub.

- For tougher stains, use mild cleaners recommended for your carpet type.

- Every few years, consider a professional deep clean to refresh the fibers.
